  • Rom 2:17-29 : 17 Now you, if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the law and boast in God, 18 and know His will and approve things that are excellent, being instructed from the law, 19 and are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light for those in darkness, 20 an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of children, having in the law the form of knowledge and truth— 21 You then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? 22 You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23 You who boast in the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24 For as it is written, 'The name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you.' 25 Circumcision indeed has value if you obey the law, but if you are a lawbreaker, your circumcision has become uncircumcision. 26 So, if those who are uncircumcised keep the righteous requirements of the law, will their uncircumcision not be regarded as circumcision? 27 The one who is not physically circumcised but keeps the law will condemn you who, even though you have the written code and circumcision, are a lawbreaker. 28 For a person is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29 But a person is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter. Such a person’s praise is not from people, but from God.
